2018 ANNUAL REPORT

The World Health Organization defined Health

as “a state of complete physical, mental, and

social well-being and not merely the absence of

disease or infirmity,” in 1948.

In 1986, they further clarified that health is:

"A resource for everyday life, not the objective

of living. Health is a positive concept

emphasizing social and personal resources, as

well as physical capacities."

He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything. Arabian proverb

Message from the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

Healthy living, most of us aspire to achieve it. Most have the resources, if not the will, to achieve it. For many in our society and in our county the desire for healthy living can be compromised by poverty, addiction, mental health issues and other concerns.

Healthy living is much more than having access to good medical care though that is important. Many families struggle with loved ones suffering with addictions, other families grapple with a whole host of contributing factors including joblessness, spiraling health care costs, and lack of basic parenting skills. Addiction, food insecurity, and financial stress are incredibly dispiriting in themselves. Many people suffer from all of these situations which can have a negative multiplier effect.

Catholic Charities of Steuben provides holistic and compassionate service to those most in need through its three major service areas: Substance Free Living helps with prevention services and addiction counseling, Turning Point helps people in immediate financial and food distress, and Kinship Family & Youth helps people in need with the day-to-day family functioning that so many of us take for granted. To live healthy requires many factors coming together to provide peo-ple with the necessary resources and support, and to give people the hope and vision necessary for a better life. Catholic Charities of Steuben provides holistic and compassionate service to those most in need through its major service areas, and Catholic Charities brings its resources together with the generosity of so many in our community to enable healthy living for the less fortunate among us.

Sincerely,

Gary M. Pease Catholic Charities, 2018 Board Chairperson

Message From the Board Chairperson

Dear Friends,

Our theme for this year’s Annual report is “Fostering Healthy Living”. As a Catholic Charities Agency, we support life from conception to end of life. Oftentimes when “right to life” discussions take place people don’t always recognize the importance of the services we provide that support the choice for life and healthy living. For example, our Substance Free Living Programs help people with their recovery process. Individuals who suffer with addictions, generally, have lost a great deal and are at high risk of losing their lives. Losses include emotional cut-offs with family and friends, loss of employ-ment, homelessness, and health issues. Catholic Charities helps these individuals regain their ability to live a healthy life and we support them as they take steps to heal relationships, make safe choices, rebuild their lives and regain a sense of hope for a brighter tomorrow.

New parents don’t always know how to take care of a child or they may not understand their child’s developmental needs. Some may not have had healthy functioning parents as role models. Healthy Families Steuben offers pregnant women and young parents hands-on assistance and education with parenting skills, prenatal and early childhood development. Staff help parents nurture their relationship with their child as well as celebrate their family’s strengths and accomplishments.

Some children are born into very difficult situations and/or dysfunctional families. Our Therapeutic Foster Care Program supports children who have been removed from family members and we afford these children with loving and nurturing foster parents who provide a safe environment and care for them in all ways; mentally, physically, and spiritually.

When bringing a child into the world, financial struggles are almost always of concern. Our Turning Point Program provides for basic needs plus they ensure families are connected to primary health care as well as medical transportation. Our staff help to stabilize families in financial crisis and provide opportunities for sustainability and growth.

I hope you will take the time to read some of the stories of how children, families, and individuals have taken advantage of opportunities for “healthy living” and a better life. I am always heartened to see the wonderful impact our staff have on those they serve as well as to see the changes people have had the courage to make.

On behalf of all the staff, our board, volunteers and the people we serve; I want to sincerely thank you for supporting the important work we do.

Wishing you all many blessings,

Laura M. Opelt Executive Director

Healthy Families Steuben

Kinship Family & Youth helps families develop the capacities for healthy family functioning and promotes healthy child development.

Healthy Families offers support and education, through home visiting, to new and expectant parents living in Steuben County.

Accomplishments • In 2018, Healthy Families Steuben served 219 families

completing 2,691 home visits.

• In March, Healthy Families Steuben (HFS) celebrated the completion of 75,000 home visits from the start of the program in 1995.

• In June, 12 staff members participated and were certified in the use of the Growing Great Kids curriculum from Great Kids, Inc.(GKI.) GKI’s mission is to partner with parents to reduce their stress and grow essential parenting and life skills that will empower them to provide their children with a safe, loving home, and the inner strengths to reach their highest developmental potential. They accomplish their vision by developing and delivering training, curricula and other tools focused on building the competencies of parents and the profes-sionals who work in programs, sharing their vision, who serve parents and their pre-birth to age five children.

• In July, due to consistently high program performance, Healthy Families Steuben was awarded $90,000 in expansion funds. With these funds, the program was able to hire two additional team members to provide parent education and support to even more families throughout Steuben County.

• In December, an additional Family Support Specialist, became a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) joining the team of three CLCs. The team provides additional breastfeeding support and education to Healthy Families’ participants as well as education on the importance of breastfeeding to program staff.

• Three additional staff became Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians this year increasing the total to six program-wide. Technicians provide critical education to participants and community members about child passenger safety and the proper use of car seats. They also distribute new car seats to those in need provided by our partner agency the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office.

• In 2018, the program received 912 referrals compared to 564 in 2017. This 38% increase is primarily due to Healthy Families’ partnership with the Steuben County Kids on Track initiative sponsored by United Way of the Southern Tier. The Kids on Track Initiative coordinates the efforts of multiple programs to achieve outcomes in the areas of child development and safe, nurturing environments for children.

• Books and literacy information are distributed to families to promote early literacy. The program supplied over 1200 books to Healthy Families’ participants thanks to various community collaborations including ProAction, Inc.’s Read To Me Steuben program.

Healthy Families Success Story:

Missy and Doug began participating in Healthy Families Steuben in March of 2014. At this point, they were expecting a daughter, and Kendelle who was born in July. Missy’s pregnancy came as a surprise because she was soon to be 44. Also, to add to the complexity of the situation she had older children and was experiencing some health problems. Missy shared that after the initial shock wore off, she was excited to have another chance to raise a child because she had a supportive husband and family, which was not the case when she was raising her two boys. Missy often spoke about the challenges she had experienced when raising her boys as a single mom including the lack of family support and financial hardships. With this new pregnancy, she was grateful to have a loving, supportive husband Doug who had also

become a father figure to her boys.

During her pregnancy and after the birth of Kendelle, Missy occa-sionally struggled with self-doubt and worry because she was not sure that she was doing all that she could to have a healthy pregnancy, and raise a happy, healthy, smart, and ready-for-school daughter. This was due to the amount of time that had passed since she had had a young child. Missy also struggled with anxiety and found it challenging to interact with others in public settings. Regardless of this, Missy knew that there were many socialization opportunities available through Healthy Families Steuben and in the community that she wanted Kendelle to experience. She was able to work through her anxiety to participate. Once she and her family started attending activities, including HFS events, the activities became a priority, and the family began to participate in many. Additionally, Missy and her family actively took part in home visits with their Family Support Specialist, Tammy Stewart. They sought information on child development and activi-ties to encourage healthy development; and participated in discussions on the successes and challenges of parenting. Dur-ing visits, Tammy regularly shared books along with an activity about the story for Missy and Doug to do with Kendelle. Due to Kendelle’s love of books, the family quickly made this into a routine, reading and coming up with activities to share

with family and friends. They would then eagerly share these experiences with Tammy when she arrived for home visits.

In September 2018, Kendelle began preschool and graduated from the Healthy Families program. Missy and Doug often receive feedback from Kendelle’s teachers complimenting them on their parenting skills, about Kendelle’s love of books, and about all of the wonderful things she is able to do, including starting to read on her own. The family regularly stops at the Addison HFS office to visit, and to promote the program in the community. Missy recently shared, “I promise anyone who involves themselves with Healthy Families Steuben (that they) will love and appreciate and learn a lot from them. It

takes a village to raise a child and they are my-our village!”

Supportive Home And Parent Enrichment (SHAPE) SHAPE (Supportive Home And Parent Enrichment) is a family preservation service that helps families develop key parenting

skills to improve family functioning. Through staff guidance families work to improve knowledge, develop skills to develop

close nurturing relationships, to gain resiliency when challenges arise, and to connect with solid supports to address any

barriers to family success.

Accomplishments: SHAPE served a total of 196 families in 2018 across three counties (Allegany, Steuben, and Yates.) Each county has their

own unique monthly and yearly outcomes.

• In Allegany County we met our targeted goals in improved parenting skills; improved family relationships; and increased ability to access community resources.

• In Steuben County we met our targeted goals for improved parenting skills and children remaining with family.

• In Yates County we met or exceeded our target goals of youths remaining safely in their home, improved skills, and improved family skills in conflict resolution. In addition, we exceeded our target goals for improved parenting skills, improved family relationships, increased ability to access community resources, and completing required goals.

• Our Yates SHAPE program secured funding to provide a new service, Skill Building. Youth are referred to us through Single Point Of Access, and are targeted for Skill Building when they do not require the same level of involvement as the intensive home services. They are typically seen once a week or every other week (vs. serval times a week.) Staff work 1-on-1 or in small groups (no more than 3 children) along with their support network. They offer supports, guides, mentors, coaches, and/or training to position youth for successful functioning in the home and community. They assist with task completion, communication, academics, socialization, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, and/or decreasing negative behaviors. As a result of the success of this new service, Yates County Department of Social Services has asked us to provide Skill Building services to the teens in their PINS program. Due to the growth in our services we are actively looking for a new larger space to better meet our needs.

Impact Across the three county region where service provision takes place, Allegany, Steuben, and Yates, SHAPE has helped to improve parenting skills in approximately 90% of the at-risk families served. This is ten percentage points above goal. Improved parenting skills lead to reductions in risk factors and increases in positive changes that lead to optimal child and family health, development, and safety. Some of the positive changes that parents have demonstrated include the following: ☆ Appropriate use of discipline when parenting.

☆ Appropriate provision of basic needs including good nutrition and health care.

☆ Improvements in parent-child bonding and relationships.

Therapeutic Foster Care The Therapeutic Foster Care Program through Kinship Family & Youth Services specializes in the care of children and youth with significant psychological, social, emotional or behavioral needs who can respond in close relationships within a family setting, and whose special needs require more intense or therapeutic services than are found in traditional foster care. At present, we serve children and families from six counties across the southern tier including: Allegany, Chemung, Livingston,

Schuyler, Steuben and Yates.

Services provided by our staff include case planning, permanency planning, and coordination of medical care and educational plans for each child in our program. In addition, we provide ongoing support and care for foster parents, including weekly contact with a Child and Family Support Worker and planned respite. Emergency assistance is available 24/7 by foster care staff who provide after-hours on call coverage. Kinship staff work closely with the referring departments and the birth families to effectively and safely plan for the future of each child, which may include returning the child to his or her parents or another family member, for adoption, or preparing the child to live independently. We

work diligently to promote permanency for each child in our care.

Accomplishments • In 2018 we have served 41 youth within our program. • We began the process of licensure in July 2018 with the goal of achieving this by January 2019, to begin providing enhanced services in July 2019.

Impact

☆ 60% of the youth served successfully achieved permanency goals either through reunification

with family, relatives, or alternatives including adoption. Success means demonstration of positive parent-child bonding taking place, increases in the child’s self-esteem, increases in positive behavior-al skills and confidence, and demonstration of children and families connecting with the necessary services to ensure future success.

A New York State licensed child care center providing quality care to children six weeks to twelve years of age in a safe, nurturing and developmentally appropriate environment; currently the only center serving Central Steuben County.

Accomplishments • In 2018., Bath Community Child Day Care (BCCDC) provided child care services to 52 children under age 5, and 74

children between 5 and 12, totaling 126. Learning activities are designed to promote growth in cognitive, language, literacy, motor and social/emotional development. Recreational activities include plenty of outside play, arts and crafts, computers, and summer field trips for school age children.

• The Center provided scholarship assistance for 16 families with 21 children. • The Center is participating in “Quality Stars NY Program," an early childhood quality rating and improvement system.

• We were fortunate to receive funding from several sources to support scholarships for low-income families to attend quality daycare programming.

Impact ☆ 100% of children (0-5) are screened for developmental delays/disabilities.

☆ 100% of children (0-5) served achieve developmental milestones.

☆ 100% of children (0-8) served achieve social/emotional milestones and/or improvement.

☆ 100% of children (0-PreK) participate in developmental play and learning experiences, including literacy activities.

☆ 100% of children (birth-PreK) who are reading with/or being read to by an adult on a regular basis.

☆ 100% of children (K-3) participate in developmental play and learning experiences, including literacy activities.

☆ 100% of early childhood staff receive relevant training and/or credentials to provide quality programs, services

Bath Community Child Day Care Center

Healthy Activities at Bath Community Child Day Care Teaching and encouraging children about healthy living is an important aspect of quality childcare. In 2018 BCCDC staff worked toward increasing children’s physical activity and healthy eating habits through several fun and engaging activities.

Gardening became a favorite activity of many of the children at the Center, from preschool through school age. Together, staff members and children planted, tended and harvested vegetables from several raised bed garden plots located in the backyard of the Center. In late Spring of 2018, preschool children helped to prepare the soil for planting by removing rocks and small weeds. Once the growing season arrived, the children helped to plant zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes, green peppers, and cucumbers. Throughout the summer the children watered and weeded the beds to give them the best chance of producing an abundance of crops. Early in July the garden began to yield our first cucumbers and squash. The children enjoyed searching for the vegetables that were getting close to being mature enough to pick. As summer turned to fall the tomatoes and green peppers ripened and were picked. After the fully-grown vegetables were picked they were used in cooking activities at school or taken home to be shared by the families. The top three recipes of the summer were zucchini “zoodles”, zucchini bread and tomato & cucumber salad!

With plenty of outside time to run and play children at the Center are encouraged to be physically active several times a day. During the summer of 2018 staff and children challenged themselves to “walk” to Disney World – a 1,160 mile trek. To accomplish the task every morning the staff and children walked or ran laps on the ¼ mile track located behind the Center for 15-30 minutes. At the end of 9 weeks the goal was achieved with a collective total of 4,650 laps – just over the number needed to make the trip from Bath to Disney World. To celebrate the achievement an end of summer Disney Party was held. Plans for the summer of 2019 are in the works to beat 2018’s goal!

Laker Kids—After School Child Care Laker Kids is registered with NYS Office of Children and Family Services and offers high-quality after school child care for children pre-K through 6th grade. Located at the Hammondsport school, Laker Kids is open Monday to Friday, 2:30 pm. to 6:00 pm. Recreational and creative activities are offered including outdoor time or indoor gym time, homework help, and choices of clubs and projects such as: cooking, science & discovery, arts & crafts, music & dance, and more.

Filling a critical community need, Laker Kids was created in 2018. We were fortunate to receive funding to support scholarships for low-income families.

Accomplishments • Turning Point (TP) has grown and changed in many ways in 2018 to better serve the community. Much of the change

centered on reaching more households through mobile services and assisting people to take better control of their health. • TP was awarded an Innovation Grant, $175,000 from the Finger Lakes Performing Provider System (FLPPS) as a part of

a Medicaid re-design project. Funding helped to implement the mobile service delivery approach. Staff can now meet with people near their homes, in community centers to provide all of our basic needs services including rent, prescription, utility, transportation, and community navigation to connect with health care. People no longer have to travel to a TP location to receive help. Given the size and rural nature of Steuben County, the quality and volume of our services have increased due to this new service delivery approach.

• The Innovation Grant also provided the resources for TP to develop a Value Based Payment Proposition Statement, to be used in securing Value Based Payment (VBP) funding in the future. This positions TP for future success, with VBP as the means to maintain stability in both funding and programming.

• A Data Coordinator position was created and a Turning Point staff was promoted who is now concentrating on improving our data collection and reporting capabilities. This assistance will be critical as we move more fully into VBP.

• A FLPPS report was developed that counts the number of health related services provided such as Patient Activation Measurement and connection to health care providers that we provide for individuals. This has resulted in generating $377,751 as of October 31, 2018.

• Transportation help increased dramatically. In 2017, our TP sites provided just over 3,000 bus tokens. In 2018, the number increased by 400% to 15,000 bus tokens, for critical travel needs including medical appointments, employment services, food, housing, and transport to required appointments with other service agencies including the Department of Social Services and Veterans Administration. Key partnerships with Medical Answering Services through the Medicaid Bus Token Reimbursement Program, and the Institute for Human Services who provides non-medical tokens helped us with this accomplishment. We also gained a full time Transportation Specialist who issues bus tokens, gas cards, and provides support to help people navigate Steuben County’s complex transit system.

• A greater focus on helping people to improve and manage their health took place this year. This included incorporating health related outcomes to many of our services. 1,112 individuals were assisted in connecting with their Primary Care Physician, of those 254 had not been to a doctor in over a year. TP also hosted many Health informative organizations in our TP lobbies including the Cancer Services Program, Arnot Health, Healthy Families Steuben, Fidelis Care, Steuben Council on Addictions, Cornell Cooperative Extension and more to present information. Wellness classes are offered to all who use our services with incentives provided to encourage people to attend. Included were Chronic Disease Self-Management and Chronic Pain Self-Management provided through the Steuben Rural Health Network.

• The Fresh Farmacy (FF) program was created/piloted in September. Through FF, a fruit and vegetable prescription program doctors can prescribe produce to Medicaid eligible people who have or who are in jeopardy of developing chronic health conditions. People receive produce through TP along with a wellness plan, education on cooking and preparing produce, and weekly check-ins to see how they are progressing. TP collects data to measure health outcomes, and the person’s progress to demonstrate potential successes. In addition to FF, TP also addresses other social determinants of health for participants to further help them to achieve positive health outcomes. For example, does the person have stable housing or a place to prepare meals? Do they have transportation to get to doctor appointments or to pick-up their Fresh Farmacy produce? This project was made possible through the support of Finger Lakes Performing Provider System, the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, and the Bethesda Foundation.

Turning Point works to stabilize families in economic crisis and supports them as they strive for self-sufficiency. Turning Point staff help to connect people living in poverty with resources of opportunity that can help them turn a corner in their lives. Community Organizations, Foundations, the Faith Community, and People of Good Will are our partners in building communities that care for all people.

Turning Point and Steuben County Rural Ministry Four locations in Steuben County provide Basic Needs, Support, and Development: Corning, Bath, Hornell, Canisteo, and mobile outreach services are available to those who are unable to access sites. Basic Needs services include food, housing, utility assistance, medication, and transportation assistance. The Support of Nutrition Outreach provides access to SNAP benefits to supplement food in households with limited income. The Development of client knowledge and resources starts with Financial Stability Guidance, and continues through relational connection and referral to community partners.

Social Justice & Peace

Catholic Charities of Steuben (CCS) is a part of the Diocese of Rochester and participates in the Social Justice and Peace

initiatives that the Diocese leads. CCS works with the five Catholic parishes in Steuben County on Social Justice issues

including educating the parishes on public policy and how it relates to the church. Our Justice and Peace efforts help the

community to see how Catholic Charities acts as the social ministry arm of the church.

In 2018, the Rochester Diocese took the stance of protecting the Dreamers from deportation during the existing legislative

uncertainty. Part of the action taken included CCS collecting petition signatures from our local Parishes to be bundled with

petitions from the entire twelve county region of the Diocese of Rochester. They were sent to government officials from

each county’s respective area and to the President. This took place during public policy weekend in February.

Another Justice & Peace initiative involved encouraging local parishes to collect funds for the Catholic Relief Services (CRS)

Rice Bowl Fund. 75% of the monies went towards alleviating international hunger and 25% to local food pantries such as

the Corning Community Food Pantry, Loaves and Fishes in Hammondsport, and Turning Point locations. During Lent people

place a CRS cardboard rice bowl on their table to be reminded of world hunger and are encouraged to deposit money in

the rice bowl throughout lent. The Diocese raised over $100,000 for CRS Rice Bowl initiative to help feed many people.

Turning Point individuals experience a multitude of challenges. This is Pamela's story:

Pamela, a Steuben County resident, recently visited a TP food pantry.

While meeting with a staff member for her pantry visit intake, it was

discovered that she had not been to a Primary Care Physician in years.

Upon hearing this, the staff person worked with Pamela to identify the

barriers that had kept her from regular check-ups, she offered to assist

her in connecting with a doctor and helped to set up an appointment

for a physical. During Pamela’s appointment, her doctor found an issue

that required emergency surgery. Fortunately, this re-connection to

healthcare had come just at the right time and resulted in a life-

changing outcome for Pamela.

For many individuals experiencing poverty, visiting Primary Care for

regular check-ups tends to fall by the wayside. This can be for many

reasons including financial constraints, lack of access, transportation

barriers, fear and hesitation due to being treated poorly in the past,

and a variety of other issues. Adding further complexity, low-income families often have multiple priorities that are impacted by

scheduling issues. They are required to attend appointments during business hours with social service agencies to access and

maintain benefits, and/or they have to access food pantries during limited service hours to provide for their families. They often

work two or more part-time jobs without benefits attempting to make ends meet. Other priorities include meeting children’s

school and childcare schedules. Combine the scheduling stresses with the struggles of juggling payments on critical household

necessities i.e. rent, utilities, insurance, and gas for the car. It is easy to see how prioritizing Health Care can take a back seat.

Impact Through Basic Needs Services individuals and families in crisis are able to avert the crisis at hand. ☆ 231 Households were able to stay warm during the cold winter months and keep the lights on.

☆ 247 Households achieved housing stability.

☆ 9,029 Households received a nutritionally balanced 3-day supply of food to feed their families, including fresh produce.

☆ 16,150 Individuals received transportation help to be able to attend key appointments for medical needs, additional

services, and employment opportunities.

Through Support and Development Services

☆ 54 Households received Fresh Farmacy services in 2018 ☆ 585 Households were prescreened for SNAP and 262 received SNAP benefits to further stabilize their financial situation

through NOEP application assistance.

Prevention Counselor- Success Story

This year I decided to group together three fifth grade boys who I had seen individually last year. All were struggling with negative attention seeking behaviors. Last year they were very disruptive in class and seemed unmotivated to change even though they were often removed from class, or lost privileges. As a group, we decided that we would work on “doing the right thing,” and we would support each other in making positive behavior choices that would make our group proud. Together the boys shared worries about their families. All had lost loved ones and had been affected by substance abuse issues within their families. Also, they were able to share feelings about their relationships with siblings and coping with financial hardships. These boys are now great friends, and all had received compliments about their good behavior in their most recent report cards. Their need for attention is now being fulfilled in positive ways through their friendships, positive teacher feedback, and through dealing appropriately with problems in their lives by sharing positive stories and processing difficult feelings within the confidential group counseling setting. They have also learned that they are not alone in having worries and problems with which coping can be difficult. Also, that it feels much better to receive attention for doing the right thing rather than being disruptive and negative.

To Whom It May Concern,

Since taking over the Health Education program at Avoca Central School five years ago, I have been working closely with the Steuben Council on Addictions. This organization has offered me many resources to enhance my Health Education curriculum.

Specifically, the Steuben Council on Addictions has provided an alcohol awareness civil court case which allows students to research laws surrounding alcohol use and role play a civil court case. Students are engaged and learning is fun. Some students have even told me that they want to pursue careers in law enforcement and civil law as a result of participating in the program.

In addition, the Steuben Council on Addictions has arranged to have guest speakers (addicts) from the Steuben County Drug Court come into my classroom and share their story and experience with drugs. Students, past and present, have found their testimonies to be beneficial in helping them make decisions regarding the use of drugs. Flesh and blood will always be more educational and memorable than any textbook or video.

As a veteran teacher, I have found the Steuben Council on Addictions to be a very valuable resource. I would recommend and refer any teacher to this organization of knowledgeable professionals.

Sincerely,

Connie J. Terry

Moving towards a Healthier life - from a Residential Services Client

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Justin and I have been a client of the Catholic Charities of

Steuben County, Substance Free Living, Residential Services since

August 8, 2018.

I entered the program because of my Abuse/Drastic Overuse of Alcohol.

The past 10 months have led me with the help of staff and counselors to:

1. Maintain Sobriety 100%

2. Learn Vital Information about my Physical Health

3. Gain a better understanding of my Mental Health

4. Practice Sober Living Skills by myself, as well as in group

settings.

Many Thanks go out to all who have assisted in my recovery. I greatly

appreciate this program and I will leave with Life Skills that will assist

me during the remainder of my life.

Recognizing Our Volunteers and Staff Each year Catholic Charities recognizes members of the community and staff for outstanding commitment to the agency and its

mission. This year’s recipients were recognized at a dinner held October 26, 2017, at the Bath Country Club.

Our highest honor, The Friends of Catholic Charities Award, recognizes an individual

or organization that has helped Catholic Charities achieve its mission. This year the

honor went to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Rochester’s Associate Diocesan

Director, Anthony T. Barbaro of Elmira, NY. In presenting the award, Executive

Director Laura Opelt said, “Tony has many qualities. He is a leader, visionary,

humanitarian, and has a strong faith that he puts into action. In addition, he is a

pleasure to work with, always offering a sense of humor to lighten a difficult

situation or discussion. He is excellent at building consensus and giving guidance.

And, while he has played a major role in the development of Catholic Charities,

he rarely takes credit and always focuses on how we accomplish our work by

working together and by building upon the work of those who came before us.”

The Barbara Fairbanks Award recognizes those who

have been strong advocates for children through

their exceptional support of one of the Kinship

Family & Youth programs. This year’s recipient was CCS Child Welfare Services Director

Melissa Nichols Mahany of Dansville, NY. Mrs. Nichols Mahany provides leadership for both the

Supportive Home And Parent Enrichment (SHAPE) and Therapeutic Foster Care programs. In

presenting the award, Assistant Director Gina Reagan said, “Melissa has been instrumental in

enhancing, improving, and growing services available to children, youth, and families in Steuben

County and beyond. She takes the time to listen to concerns of children, parents, staff, and

partners. She has made her advocacy and presence in the community known. She is first to offer

help, quick to respond, and never too busy to stop for a conversation and a good laugh.”

The Works of Love Award recognizes the extraordinary efforts of someone from the Faith

Community who partners with Catholic Charities to act on social justice issues, serving the most

vulnerable in our community. This year’s award went to the Needles and Thread Sewing Group

of Corning. Accepting the award on behalf of the Needles and Thread Sewing Group were Mary Louise Crans and Verna

Beck. Needles and Thread, a volunteer group has been around since 1990, is housed at the Corning Senior Center. In addition

to Senior Center projects, the group works with youth from the Corning-Painted

Post and Prattsburgh School Districts on special projects. Having two generations

work on projects together acts as a bridge between the generations, and helps to

raise awareness about what’s going on in the community through the act of giving.

They make blankets for nursing homes, for the SPCA, and for a special Veterans’

project. For the special project, they create blankets with American Flags sewn into

them to cover deceased Veterans who are to be transported to the mortuary.

Afterwards, the family of the veteran is presented with the blanket. For local food

pantries, the group knits hats, gloves, and scarves to help vulnerable individuals

stay warm in the winter, as well as bags for people to carry their food home, es-

pecially from mobile food pantries. The group works throughout the year creating

Christmas stockings for Turning Point’s annual Christmas Giveaway for children. In

2018 the project helped 228 children have a memorable Christmas.

The Spirit of Turning Point Award recognizes a person or organization whose contribution helps to advance the work of Turning Point (TP) through advocacy, education, building relationships, increasing capacity, or developing resources. This year, two people were chosen: David Santucci, formerly of Bath and Anne Gemmel of Hornell. Mr. Santucci volunteered for TP Bath from October 2017 to October 2018. Volunteering in pantry four, sometimes five days a week, gave David a solid understanding of the pantry, which enabled him to train all new pantry volunteers. In presenting the award, TP Program Assistant, Tiffany Berg said, “David is always coming to staff with new and innovative ideas to help make the pantry process smoother, more efficient, and better in terms of helping our clients get more out of the pantry. David was often interested in gaining a better understanding of poverty and demonstrated a willingness to explore and recognize different perspectives from his own. He took pride in his work and was always looking for ways to help. He went above and beyond to help every individual.” Anne Gemmel has been a volunteer at TP Hornell three days a week for the past eight years. TP Rural Coordinator, Steve Olix presented the award saying, “A long-standing member of the Catholic Church, Anne goes above and beyond every day to assist our clients. She cares deeply about each individual we serve and greets them all like they are a guest in her home.

She is one of the sweetest people you can ever meet. She takes care of staff, by disinfecting the whole office making sure we don’t get sick! We all love to hear her stories about when she came here from Scotland and to listen to her sing as she works. Anne Gemmel is one in a million and we are so lucky to have her

at Turning Point Hornell.”

The Andy Mazzella Compassion Award gives special recognition to individuals who have given selflessly of themselves to improve the human condition of others. This year, the award went to Steve Olix of Hornell. Turning Point Director Tess McKinley said, “Steve has given over five years of his life to this organization. He has worked his way up through the ranks of our Substance Free Living Residential Services Program,

starting out as a part-time counselor, moving up to a full-time counselor, and then to become the Supportive Living Program Supervisor. As Supportive Living Supervisor, he helped to grow the program so much that another building had to be rented in Bath to house the additional residents recovering from addiction. After he moved from Supportive Living to Turning Point, he helped to grow our Turning Point poverty services by getting us connected to people in need leaving jail, and to people in recovery who were in need of our services. What really makes this person deserving of this award is his compassion and service to people who are struggling. We have received many testimonials speaking about the number people suffering from addiction have been able to lean on Steve for support

and have received it in so many ways.”

The Robert Turissini Award for Extraordinary Service was established as a special way to honor outstanding employees. Bob Turissini’s dedicated service as the 1st Chairman of the Board guided the agency from its creation in 1997, to its respected level today. This year’s recipient was Turning Point Program Assistant Tiffany Berg of Bath. Presenting the award, Healthy Families Steuben’s Program Manager, Jill Smith said, “It has been my honor to work with Tiffany and witness on a daily basis her work ethic,

passion, and dedication to treating all those she encounters with the utmost digni-ty and respect. Whether it is a participant in need, a volunteer, a co-worker, her interaction with all is grounded in care and compassion. She is a passionate ad-vocate for the great work taking place at Turning Point, and for recognizing and celebrating the dedication of all volunteers who selflessly give their time. Her genuine, positive, dynamic, friendly, outgoing personality draws people to her and helps to create/maintain an environment of trust, dedication, commitment, and care. Not only is Tiffany a great advocate for the important work taking place at TP, she is also a passionate advocate for the Healthy Families Steuben Program. When a pregnant/new family comes to TP, she shares information with them about the program and will go out of her way to see if any Healthy Fami-lies staff are present to make an immediate connection. If Healthy Families staff are not available, she provides the family with additional information about the

program, and ensures that their contact information is given to program staff.”

The Golden Shoe Award recognizes the walker or team who raises the most funds for our annual Steps to End Poverty in Steuben (STEPS) Walk. The one mile walk raises funding to support Turning Point programs, and increases awareness about poverty in Steuben County. This year’s award recipient was Kacey Blaney of Jasper, who raised more than $1,400, adding to the more than $12,500 raised at the Turning Point Bath STEPS Walk and the more than $27,500 raised county-wide to assist our neighbors in need. CCS’ Fundraising/Communications Director, Paula Smith presented the award saying, “While this is an amazing accomplishment in and of itself, this is not Kacey’s first rodeo (or first STEPS Walk for that matter)! In fact, Kacey has participated in the STEPS Walks for the past four years. In 2015 and 2016, she headed-up organizing the Hornell leg of the STEPS Walk, soliciting committee members and volunteers, developing the event day program, and even adding a silent auction to the festivities, not to mention walking and raising both awareness and funds. In 2015 she raised more than $1,450, in 2016 she was a Golden Shoe Award recipient having raised more than $1,650, and in 2017 she raised more than $1,350. In total, Kacey has raised almost $6,000 through the STEPS Walk for our Turning Point poverty services. We are so grateful to her for all her

efforts and are so very blessed to have her support!”

The William and Dorothy Belknap Award recognizes those who promote the work of Bath Area Hope for Youth in providing Substance Free Living services to youth, families, and communities. This year’s award went to Connie Terry of Prattsburgh. Prevention Educator, Barbara McCollumn presented the award saying, “For the past nine years, Connie has worked closely with us to provide Prevention Education op-portunities at the Avoca Central School District. Over this time she has continually increased the number of programs offered in her health classes. Connie is very student-oriented, cares very much about the health of others, and is both determined and understanding. She wants her students to have both current and vital information, so they can

make positive life choices.”

Dear Friends,

I want you to be aware that I am transitioning to a new role within Catholic Charities as the Associate Diocesan Director. My new role will include supporting the Executive Directors/ CEO’s in the Southern Tier, including Steuben, as well as helping the Diocesan Director with diocesan-wide efforts.

2019 will be a year of transition. Our Board of Directors has begun the search process for a new CEO. Our Board cares deeply about our organization and will find the best person to lead Catholic Charities into the future. We hope to have a new CEO in place this summer, allowing time for me to work with this individual, over the remainder of the year, while at the same time beginning to assume my new responsibilities. With that said, I want to reiterate that I will be accessible through the end of the year and will continue to be available to support the new Chief Executive Officer.

As some of you know, I have been in my current position for 21 years and this transition helps me stay connected to the work I care deeply about. I feel, strongly, that the timing for this change is good. We have a very strong Chief Operating Office, in Gina Reagan, and a Leadership Team of capable and dedicated Directors. We have a highly skilled workforce of paid staff who are known for providing excellent and compassionate service. We are well respected in the community and seen as an agency who has great impact.

I want you to know that it has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve as the Executive Director for Catholic Charities of Steuben. I am extremely proud of the wonderful work we do and the difference we make in our communities.

Thank you, in advance, for your continued support of this great agency.

Laura
